[Elecraft] POWER LOCKED

[Rick WA6NHC]

Just be SURE to get the latest version of the utility, then make a 
baseline backup to start from and once all is set as you wish, make a 
'default' to fall back on.  It doesn't take much disk space to make 
backups, so you can make several (rename them to make sense to you).
